The Spiritual Path of Yoga
Living Yoga Moment-to-Moment
Yoga is not a passive process. It must be experienced and practiced. Kriyā-yoga (PYS II.1) in Sanskrit means “Yoga in and through action”. This four part workshop explores the teachings of Patañjali’s Yogasūtra on kriyā-yoga and its practical implications for day-to-day living.
Develop your understanding of tapas, svādhyāya, and īśvara-praṇidhāna as vital components of a Yoga practice which extends from your mat out into your life. This workshop provides both informational and experiential learning: a physical āsana practice, as well as a lecture and discussion of the Patañjali’s guidance for implementing Yoga throughout the day and in all your relationships.

My sūtra studies imbue life with purpose and meaning
Every time I come to class I am inspired and uplifted. I love reflecting on the ideas in the sūtra against the backdrop of my life, my sūtra studies imbue the ups and downs of life with purpose and meaning. Chase’s honesty and the space he has created for all of us allows us to express our foibles with deep compassion for the struggle and humor of being human.
